Not all that far from where the flaperon was found, if it truly is a piece of it.

No, that link is from Jan 16, and in Thailand.

I found one for the purported find near Mozambique (don't have it at the moment).

It did indeed appear to be a big piece of an elevator from a jet transport. It was white, not silver, like the flaperon.

I didn't post it when I saw it, as I'm waiting for more corroboration.

What I saw earlier wasn't it. CNN and others now showing images.

Triangular piece of skin, likely from horizontal stab.

No scenario can match the envisioned potential cases of onboard fire, pressurization issue, smoke, etc.

The actions of waiting until a frequency handoff, turning a transponder to standby, turning initially left of course for a certain distance, and then another turn after several minutes southbound over the ocean, never communicating any intent, no mayday, no attempted change in altitude/climb/dive. It's fairly obvious these were deliberate actions by someone on the plane. Eliminating passengers (which the police investigators seem to have already done) and the culprits become the two upfront. Given their personal histories, the CA is suspect.
